Perspective

There are between 10 and 50 trillion cells in the human body.
(That, by the way, is the closest scientific estimate available.)

The circumference of the earth is 24,000 miles.

To get a sense of what 10 to 50 trillion really is, imagine each cell represents a single mile.

It would take 416,000 trips around the earth to reach 10 trillion miles.

It would take 2,083,333 trips around the earth to reach 50 trillion miles.

By glory, perhaps we do live in a miracle.

Beyond Comprehension

In the time it takes you to read this “mindful moment,” the universe has expanded somewhere between 2 million and 40 million miles. That is the closest estimate available.

Can you explain how that is possible or into what the universe is expanding?

Could it simply be beyond our current comprehension or a miracle?

Staying Stuck

A wannamle (a totally fictitious creature, of course) is one who complains about everything constantly. Everything is always someone else’s fault or responsibility. Their lives are awful, as are their parents.

Unless we are talking about things from the perspective of finding a solution, what, really, is the purpose of whining conversation?

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach
Gina Martin | Springfield, MA

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!
Maureen Clancy | Portland, ME

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
